100 Companies That Hired the Most People This Year

Looking for a new job? Or perhaps you were hired for a new gig this year? Either way, it’s never a bad idea to keep an eye on what’s happening in the economy. Knowing which industries or businesses are growing and contracting can keep you clued in as to what your future might hold. The last thing anyone wants is to be caught in a dead-end career, with nowhere to turn when layoffs start happening.

That can lead to some very ugly outcomes, as many Americans are finding in the post-Great Recession years. The economy is constantly evolving. As such, old jobs and career paths are destroyed, and new ones are created. But you need to know what’s happening in order to take advantage. Or at least avoid the unemployment line.

Which companies, businesses, and industries should you be keeping an eye on? There are millions of job openings and opportunities out there if you know where to look. But if you want to get specific, you can look at which companies have a track record of hiring within the last year or so.

“Before the start of the new year, Monster wanted to take a look back to see which 100 companies went hiring crazy over the course of the whole year with their first-annual ‘Mega Monster 100,'” Monster’s team told The Cheat Sheet. “Using data provided by the TalentNeuron tool from insights and technology company CEB, they came up with the following roundup of companies with the most job listings on Monster over the past 12 months.”

If you were hoping to get hired soon, or at least want to keep up with which businesses are hiring, this list is for you.

You’ll see a lot of familiar names on the list, and many that you’ve never heard of. The important thing is to look at the underlying trends — which industries are hiring the most? Ask yourself what it would take to get hired by one of these companies if sweeping economic change comes through.

Broken up into segments, here are the 100 companies that hired the most people over the past year, along with how many workers each one hired, from Monster’s list.
